Last Saturday (I recorded it) night I watched a man sprint from one end of the field to the other, football in hand, managing to avoid being tackled, in an extremely short amount of time. Once I get home, I'll record it, but it's faster than that. And they used to get paid obscene amounts, there is now a salary cap. And that weight? Pfft. The players are all pure muscle here, unlike the weedy runts you lot have. Oh, and two words, for speed and weight: Wendel Sailor.

It wasn't grid iron, you silly bastard.

Oh yeah. Weedy runts. A hell of a lot more scary than a guy dressed like he's gonna play soccer.

Doubt anyone in the Rugby league is more athletic than this guy.

And hell, do you play any sports? 283 pounds and a 4.5 40 should be physically impossible. That guy is a freak.

And yeah, Football has a salary cap too. But they're still payed too much to play sports.

Yes. *I* play rugby. Granted, I'm not big, just tall, but I can still run like a deer. I don't get paid for it, I just get hammered. Play SOCCER? Yes, because dressing up in tights is oh so - oh, screw it. Anyone who is sane knows Rugby is better than Grid Iron. Oh, look at him. HE IS A MUSCLEY MAN. Look at his wrists, though. Compared to the rest of his arm. Bit thin, eh? Yes, that's a freak, and he probably has some very serious health problems. Play real rugby, most of us have played grid iron. When I see some proof, I'll listen to you.

How am I supposed to show you proof? It's all personal opinion tongue.gif. Then again, the Superbowl is the most watched event on television, and football players are making 200k - 13 million a year (yeah, broad scope ain't it?), so I think the general population likes football better biggrin.gif.

Curious, what do you play in Rugby? I want to switch positions when (if) I play this year, cause I really don't like being a Hooker. And I have no idea what positions are fun.

That's because America is one of the largest countries in the world. Also, the salary cap gives about 4 million per club to pay players with. I play full forward, myself. Like I said, I'm not big (MR MUSCLES! RAWR! HAIRY!) sorta thing, but I'm tall and I can run like a deer. I exist for the sole purpose of drilling other people. Heh. Which gets you fairly beaten up, but hey, good stuff.
